Chapter 294: The Duel Begins
Chapter 294: The Duel Begins
In the designated rest area for the match, Tenraku was reclining on a sofa with his eyes closed, recuperating.
Tenraku-Sama, its time for us to go on stage.
His entire Peerage gathered behind him as Yubellunas soft voice reminded him that it was time.
Finally, its time to begin
Opening his eyes, a slight smile formed at the corner of Tenrakus lips as he muttered.
Alright, lets set off!
Yes!
With a tap of his magic staff, Yubelluna activated the magic formation, enveloping Tenraku and the women in a burst of light before they vanished.
Meanwhile, within the enormous arena
Lets welcome the once again, the next team entering the stage Team Kamiya Tenraku!
Oh oh ohoh oh!!!
A wave of thunderous cheers erupted like a giant wave. As Tenraku and his women emerged from the transmission formation, they were now standing on the arenas stage.
The colossal arena resembled a Roman coliseum, with nearly a million spectators seated in the surrounding tiers. Roars of enthusiasm echoed one after another, igniting the hearts and minds of everyone present.
Notably, Tenrakus group hadnt been transported to ground level but to a towering conical floating platform.
These platforms were merely two in number, serving as the stages for the competitors. On one side stood Tenraku and his women, and on the other stood Sairaorg and his Peerage, who had entered the arena ahead of them.
Though the platforms were hundreds of meters apart, both Tenraku and Sairaorg, with their remarkable vision, could detect each others excited expressions.
They were itching for a battle, eagerly awaiting this day!
Good evening, everyone!
I am Naud Gamigin of the 72 Pillars House of Gamigin. Ill be your host for tonights match!
Suddenly, a massive screen materialized above the arena, revealing a splendidly dressed male figure wearing earphones.
Beneath the resounding cheers, Naud Gamigin, the host, continued speaking: Now, let me introduce our judges for tonights match. First up, we have Rudiger Rosenkreutz!
As the hosts words concluded, a magic circle materialized in the air, revealing a man seated on a throne. He possessed silvery hair and an imposing appearance.
Raising his hand in greeting, the silver-haired gentlemans action triggered countless screams from the female audience members.
Tenraku-sama, that Rudiger Rosenkreutz was originally a human turned Devil. He holds the title of Top-Class Devil and is ranked seventh in the high-class Devils Rating Game.
Knowing Tenraku wasnt well-versed in these matters and likely unfamiliar with this supposed judge, Yubelluna whispered quietly at Tenrakus side.
The fact that Rudiger was a reincarnated Devil surprised Tenraku a bit. The true rulers of the Underworld had always been the rare pure-blooded Devils. Reincarnated Devils, in the end, were mere servants and members of Peerages, subservient to those high-and-mighty pure-blooded Devils.
Unless they possessed unique talents and abilities, most reincarnated Devils were content with being Low-Class or Middle-Class Devils at best. The fact that Rudiger Rosenkreutz had achieved such a status hinted at his exceptional nature.
Next, we have a special guest joining us tonight Governor General of the Fallen Angels, Azazel-sama!
Hey there
As the host continued introducing, Azazel, who had one hand supporting his cheek, appeared from a magic circle. Lifting his hand with a lazy wave, he greeted the audience nonchalantly.
Governor General Azazel maintains friendly relations with leaders of various factions and has deep knowledge of Sacred Gears.
Governor General Azazel, may we hear your thoughts on tonights match?
Well, thats a tough one. Whether its Sairaorg or Kamiya Tenraku, theyre both remarkable young individuals. However, if I were to compare, Id lean more towards Kamiya Tenraku.
That lad possesses an array of Sacred Gears that even I envy. He wields powerful Longinus, including the Gauntlet of the Red Dragon Emperor Boosted Gear and Light Wings of the White Dragon Sovereign Divine Dividing. It wouldnt be an exaggeration to call him the most monstrous existence in the Underworlds history. Sairaorg has his work cut out if he wants to defeat him.
Despite everyone present being familiar with Tenrakus reputation, Azazels words still elicited gasps of astonishment. Regular Sacred Gears were one thing, but even possessing several prohibited Longinus was remarkable. Such an individual was undoubtedly a monstrous existence!
Oh, it seems Governor General Azazel has a strong inclination towards His Highness the Red Dragon Emperor. Nevertheless, well have to wait and see the real outcome during the upcoming match.
Now, lets welcome our final guest for tonight, the current king of Rating Games Diehauser Belial!
As the host introduced, a man with gray hair and gray eyes stepped into the spotlight. He was incredibly handsome.
Hello, everyone. I am Diehauser Belial. Please treat me kindly.
Ahhhhhhhhh Diehauser-Sama!!!
The audience erupted in enthusiastic cheers as Diehauser Belial made his appearance.
The man named Diehauser Belial smiled and greeted the audience, and instantly, the entire arena erupted like an explosion. Countless girls went wild, screaming in excitement. In fact, quite a few became so overwhelmed with excitement that they fainted on the spot!
This time, without Yubellunas introduction, Tenraku recognized who he was. Diehauser Belial, the reigning king of Rating Games, the Emperor at the pinnacle!
His fame was immense, especially among the young Devils of the Underworld. You might not know the Four Great Demon Kings, but if you didnt know Diehauser Belial, youd undoubtedly be deeply scorned!
As the current king of Rating Games, Diehauser Belial was idolized by countless individuals, even the likes of Rias, who carried an inner pride, regarded him as a goal to strive for throughout her lifetime.
Tenrakus gaze flickered as he observed Diehauser Belial seated in the floating platform above.
Unsurprisingly, this guy possessed the strength of a Demon King and was undoubtedly one of the most elite among the Demon Kings.
And if Tenraku remembered correctly, Diehauser Belial was the only one among the top-ranking individuals who had never used a King piece. He had climbed to the summit purely based on his own talent.
With Tenrakus current insight and power, there werent many people he feared, but this guy was undoubtedly one of them!
All the judges and guests are present. Now, let me explain the rules of this match.
Clapping his hands, as the cheers in the arena gradually subsided, the host continued:
Based on the conditions of the kings and Peerages on both sides, to provide a more thrilling match, we have established special rules for this match.
This match consists of four rounds: the Knight Battle, the Rook Battle, the Queen Battle, and the War of Kings.
In the Knight Battle, two Knights from each side will face off; in the Rook Battle, two Rooks from each side will face off; in the Queen Battle, the Queens from each side and two Bishops will face off; and in the final War of Kings, the kings from each side and athePawns will face off!
As for the ultimate victory, it will be determined by the total piece value of the Peerage that remains on the field after each round. The value of a Knight and a Bishop is three, a Rook is five, a Queen is nine, and the king on both sides is universally valued at twelve.
Additionally, for the sake of fairness, the use of Phenexs Tears is prohibited in the match, but various recovery magic and healing-type Sacred Gears can be freely used.
The rules for each round varied, which was part of the allure of Rating Games. With the hosts explanation, everyone had a clear understanding of the rules for this match.
The Knight Battle, Rook Battle, Queen Battle, and War of Kings this match provided a direct comparison of the strength of the kings and Peerages on both sides. Moreover, with four battles, the audience would be thoroughly entertained!
As for the restriction against using Phenexs Tears, anyone with a bit of sense would understand that this was aimed specifically at Tenrakus side. Tenraku, as a member of the Phenex family, naturally had an ample supply of Phenexs Tears. If unrestricted usage was allowed during the match, Sairaorgs side would be in trouble.
Are there any questions from either side?
The host looked down at the floating platforms where Tenraku and Sairaorg were standing and asked.
None.
With a strong sense of determination, both Tenraku and Sairaorg replied.
Okay, since both sides have no further questions, I hereby announce that the match between House of Baels Sairaorg-sama and House of Phenexs Tenraku-sama officially begins!
The entire arena erupted with waves of cheers, and the host continued:
Now, let us proceed to our first battle the Knight Battle.
Both Knights from each side, please step into the transmission formation at the front of the floating platform. The formal duel will take place in a separate dimension.
Upon receiving the hosts instruction, Karlamine and Siris took two steps forward. Similarly, on Sairaorgs side, two armored men stepped forward.
Karlamine, Siris, Ill be watching you. Give it your all in the battle.
Having full confidence in the two womens abilities, Tenraku encouraged them.
Yes, Tenraku-Dama!
Taking a deep breath, Karlamine and Siris stepped into the transmission formation.
Under the gaze of everyone present, a bright light shone, and both sides Knights were transported to a separate dimension
